England's formidable form continued with a resounding victory over Northern Ireland that ensured they took maximum points in Group A and continued their momentum going into the knockout stages.
Such was the emphatic nature of this ninth-straight win, it prompted opposing manager Kenny Shiels to declare that it will be a "massive failure" if England do not go all the way and go on to lift the European title.
With the hosts already assured of topping the group, and tournament debutants Northern Ireland already eliminated, rather than passively going through the motions of a dead rubber England provided the 30,785 partying fans at Southampton's sold-out St Mary's with an entertaining night as they chased goal after goal.
Half-time substitute Alessia Russo impressed with two classy strikes in the space of five minutes, after the tournament's leading scorer Beth Mead had taken her tally to five goals with a deflected effort that added to Fran Kirby's clinical opener.
